Thanks for the reply, That is actually my top choice tang. As for the others, I don't think the goby would like my bare bottom. I've also been looking at other clowns but I think the maroons are too aggressive for anthias. I'm leaning towards the Picasso percula clowns. I've also added a flasher...

Hey everyone, Really looking for some good input on my stocking plans. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Current system: - 75 gal barebottom with 80 lbs of dry rock - ReefKeeper2 controller - 2x Tunze 6015(550gph), 1x Tunze 6065(1700gph) - 30 gal sump - Octopus Extreme 200...

That is completely normal, may even take a week to adjust. Remember...unlike fish, corals need to adjust to the light as well. Dim your lights for a few days or start your coral off towards the bottom of the tank to let them adjust.

thanks guys, he was looking much better today. still not himself though

Hey, so I just got a foxface lo tonight. I thought everything was going good until my dumb ass tang decided to be brave and attack the foxface's spines. he currently has a hole in the side of his mouth. Is he gonna be alright or am I gonna be fishing for a corpse tomorrow?

Thanks guys, I'm gonna leave the light off for the rest of the day and I fed my fish in order to give the bio-load a kick and eat up some oxygen.

I was killing apistatia with a pickling lime paste and accidentally squirted about 1 tsp of the paste into the tank. I couldnt get it out and the ph has gone from 7.9 to 8.3 in about 15 min. Can fish survive that or do i need to start dumping in vinegar. If so, how much? I got a 100 gal system.

In my opinion, if your gonna dose you need to do it right. Test levels and calculate depletion rates for everything monthly and dose accordingly in your top-off water. Most of us don't have the time or equipment to do this so water changes become necessary. Come on, would you rather spend a...

thanks guys, I'm just gonna use kalk for now since I already have it. I'll have to get into the 2 part once I get my top off figured out.

Hey everyone, so over the past few months I've determined that my tank does amazingly better with an 11 kh and 450 calcium. Problem is I've gone through a lot of additives trying to keep it that way. -I was wondering what you thought of a 1 gallon kalk drip every other night? -How much...

thanks oscarsdad, but last night i found it on dt's pet supply for 15

hey everyone, I got a gen x 4100 submersible pump with a broken ceramic shaft and a cracked magnet on the impeller. Does anyone know where I could get replacements? I got it used so I'm not really looking for used parts unless in really good condition.

Biff, does it really raise it 10-20? I have a whisper 20 and I'm at 0 nitrates. I only change it every 2 weeks with one rinsing in the middle. I do have a lot of rock though and a remora protein skimmer. Waterdog, other than getting a good protein skimmer or more rock, rinsing the filter...

how big where the holes you drilled?

Thanks Biff!! You always seem to get around to every thread on this forum.

hey everyone, so i finally got a tank and pump to work with. As for the sump, i'm adding a picture with the wall design. I was questioning the wall between the refuge and the pump. the reason i have the gap half way is to prevent the floating algae from flowing into the pump section although...

thanks biff. I know they lead to high phosphates, but they also have 4 times as much protein as the frozen. I think its worth the risk. I'm just very careful about overfeeding with it.

Hey everyone, I'm curious about proper feeding for my fish, especially my new tang. What do you guys feed your fish and what additives are needed? So far I have been alternating between frozen brine shrimp and Omega One flakes w/ garlic. I know the tangs need a widely varied diet to keep...

I think i'll go with the 2 brittles since the detritus is the part of clean up that i'm really lacking on. Thanks for the help
